2009 WASSA Catalog Awards

The Catalog Committee is excited to announce new categories for the WASSA Catalog Awards. Over the past few years we have seen exciting and innovative ideas used in catalogs to get the attention of students and provide them with information on their classes.

The new award categories will be:

Best Catalog: Cover Design
Best Catalog: Use of Photographs
Best Catalog: Layout and Style
Best Catalog: Use of Theme

And for best overall catalog, we will continue with the
